James Hodge Motor Company Blood Drive Monday November 26th 5100 SE Loop 286 from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM.

 

The marvels of modern medicine include the ability to transfuse living tissue – blood – from one person to another.  Volunteer blood donors, like those in Paris make it possible to treat acute disease, chronic conditions, even cancers.  That is a reason to give countless thanks. Carter BloodCare delivers transfusion services for north, central and east Texas hospitals, for patients that number in the hundreds, daily.  Treatments, such as chemotherapy, are heavily supported with blood or platelets “at the ready.” Additionally, the life-saving capabilities are not possible without 1,000 volunteers giving blood every day.

 

There is no substitute for human blood.  And when a patient’s life is on the line, blood must be ready with only a moment’s notice.

 

For more information or to schedule an appointment time, contact Curt Poore at (903) 785-8447.

 

Monday November 26th from 5-9pm enjoy Chili, visiting, speaker, scholarship awards and bake sale for the 53rd Annual All Breed Bull Sale that will be held on Tuesday the 27th.
